Organization:• Pitch 60x40 Yds, 7v7 + Gk• Divide Pitch into 3 20x40 Horizontal Zones (Def/Mid/Att)• 1 Ball, 2 teamsStructure:• Play 2-3-2 formation• Strikers and Sweepers must stay in the end zones• Midfielders can move between all zones• Strikers act as pressuring defenders when attacking team has ball in their zone• Ball must be touched at least once in midfield zone by team on attack for goal to countAim:• Make a shot on goal with as few passes as possible between winning the ball and shooting• Support through the midfield and in the attack quickly and with numbers, making runs into space• Turn 1v1's into 2v1's quickly

Key Factors:• Get Wide and Deep as soon as ball is won - use the wings as the first pass out of defense (Shape)• Midfield players getting forward and wide into space, Strikers locking up Defenders (Trigger)• Play the ball into midfield and into attacking 1/3 in 2 passes or by fast dribbling (Action)• Strikers turn defenders and shoot, or lay off for midfielders to shoot or cross to back post (Reaction)• Move must be done quickly and accurately; space is the key, so look for players in most space and get the ball to them fast (Timing)Progressions:• Allow direct attacks when ball is won in attacking 1/3; goals scored in this situation count double• Allow full movement of players but ball must still be touched in the midfield third for goal to count• Slowly remove restrictions as players become used to the idea until you gain the same actions in free play
